Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, the vomiting act supposed a big effort for the muscles in the upper side where the sternum is locate some people during the vomiting can get a muscle contractions even though can have minors internal bleeding in the pharyngeal area, I think that you probably have a muscular contraction and hopefully could disappear in a few days using some topical anti-inflammatory ( cremes) improving your symptoms . I hope that my advice has been helpful
Take care
